The Asian Salon: Immigration, Visas & Building Your Future
An intimate evening for Asian tech professionals, founders, operators, and investors navigating immigration and the future of their careers in the US.
Immigration is one of the biggest and often most confusing parts of building a career or company in the U.S. So we’re bringing together a curated group of 35–40 professionals for an honest, practical conversation about visa pathways, sponsorship, and what comes next.
What to Expect
🎤 Immigration & Visa Conversation
A focused 30–45 minute conversation on immigration pathways, options, and common questions, featuring a Manifest representative and moderated by Naimeesha. Naimeesha will also share a bit from her own EB-1A journey, followed by an open Q&A.
🤝 Curated Networking
Connect with a highly curated group of founders, operators, investors, and tech professionals who are navigating similar career and immigration journeys.
🍽️ Dinner + Drinks
An intimate evening with good food, drinks, and meaningful conversations—not a giant networking event where you collect high value LinkedIn connections.
Who This Is For: This Salon is designed for professionals in tech, startups, investing, and adjacent fields who are:
- Exploring US immigration or visa options
- Currently navigating a visa or sponsorship journey
- Thinking about longer-term pathways like EB-1A
- Building a career or company in the US
- Have questions about their options and want a space to ask them openly
- Interested in hearing from others navigating similar experiences
Space is intentionally limited to ~35–40 guests to keep the conversation intimate and highly curated.
This event is hosted by The Asian, in partnership with Manifest Law.
